STlCKY-FLY-PAPER HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. *7, 1906.

Application filed April 4, 1906. Serial No. 309,858.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, GODFRIED LAUBE and GRovER C. G. 'LAUBE, citizens ofthe United States of America, residing at Santa Monica, in the county ofLos Angeles and State of California, have invented certain new and`useful Improvements in Sticky- Fly-Paper Holders, of which thefollowing is a specification, reference being had therein to theaccompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements insticky-fly-paper holders, and has for its object the provision of novelmeans whereby the adhesive flypaper is arranged in a novel manner withina novel form of casing that will be practically invisible and willpresent many advantages, as will be hereinafter more fully eX- plained,and particularly pointed out in the claims.

The invention consists in the novel construction, combination, andarrangement of parts to be hereinafter more particularly described.

In describing the invention in detail reference is had to theaccompanying drawings, forming a part of this application, wherein likenumerals of reference indicate like parts throughout the views, and inwhich- Figure 1 is a perspective view of our improved fly-paper holder,showing the same secured together in an operative position; and Fig. 2is a perspective view of the blank for the reception of the paper beforethe blank is formed into a cylinder.

In the drawings the blank 1 carries a flap 2, which has formed thereinan opening 3. This flap also has formed therein a tongue 4, which isintegral with the blank 1 and is preferably stamped out of the material.Upon the blank 1 are also cut-away portions forming retaining-fingers 5for the purpose of securing the sticky fly-paper 6 in proper position.In the opposite end of the blank from the iiap 2 are formed slots 6 and7, which form a strap 8. The sides of the blank 1 carry outwardlyextending scalloped wings 9.

The reference-numeral 10 indicates a hook or other suitable fasteningmeans which may be inserted through the opening 3.

The operation of our improved fly-paper holder is as follows: The blankbeing first stamped as clearly shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings, thefly-paper is inserted under the retaining-fingers 5, and the entireblank is then brought into a cylindrical form by inserting the flap 2through the slot 7, under the strap 8, and thence through the slot 6,when it is turned upwardly at right angles, the tongue 4 engaging theinner wall of the cylinder adjacent to the slot 6 therebyforming aninterlocking engagement therewith. The outwardlyextending scallopedwings 9 are then also bent at right angles to the body portion of thecylinder, these wings forming feet or supports for the cylinder, whichwill slightly elevate the body portion from the table or otherconvenient place in which it may be permitted to rest, or the device maybe Suspended by the hook 10, secured in the open- Ving 3, the hook beingattached to a chandelier, window-shade, or attached to any projectingedge or cornice.

It will be understood that the fly-paper at the ends is slightly turnedupwardly and inwardly to prevent the adhesive substance from leakingout. the holder may be placed on an inclined surface and may be retainedthereon by reason of the novel construction of the feet or supports,which will prevent the cylindrical body portion from rolling from theinclined surface.

The body portion or blank Jforming the holder may be made of anysuitable material, such as paper, leatherette, celluloid, aluminium,tin, brass, or any other Suitable sheet material.-

Many other advantages obtained by the use of our improved ily-paperholder will be readily apparent from the foregoing description whentaken in connection with the accompanying drawings.

Having fully described our invention, what we claim as new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A il -paper holder, comprising asheet of material aving a flap at oneend, and slotted near its Opposite end to provide a retainingstrap forsaid flap, and supports formed integral with said sheet.

It will also be Seen that IOO 2. A ily-paper holder, comprising a sheetof material formed With a ilap at one end, and slotted adjacent to itsopposite en d to provide a retaining-strap for said flap, and Wingsformed integral With said sheet and bent at right angles thereto.

3. A ily-paper holder, comprising a sheet of material having a i'lap atone end7 and slotted at its opposite end to provide a retaining-stripfor said flap, and retaining devices for ily-paper, carried by saidsheet.

4. A ily-paper holder` comprising a sheet of material having a flap atone end, a retainingstrap for said ap near the opposite end of thesheet, and devices struck up from the sheet 15.
